On the court.
Ryuhei Kasuga received Yuuto's pass, with Mibuchi Reo chasing closely beside him.
It wasn't a high-quality guidance pass, but Kasuga scored extremely easily.
Giichi Omuro walked over quietly the moment the pass was made, setting a screen for him, isolating the defender.
Nebuya Eikichi, wary of Iwamura behind him, didn't rotate out to help, watching helplessly as Kasuga scored an easy layup.
An ordinary offense.
Similar scenes had appeared many times in the first quarter.
But Akashi.
His expression at this moment was so shaken.
Just now, the future predicted by the Emperor Eye shattered.
Not deriving more futures and possibilities like a year ago, but shattering directly.
This meant that after Yuuto sent that pass, the result could no longer be reversed.
The moment he completed the pass, the outcome was destined!
"What's wrong? Little Akashi's expression seems very... uneasy?" Kise thought for a while before finding this adjective.
After saying it, he felt it was incredible himself; did things that could make Akashi uneasy really exist?
"Probably related to Yu's eyes." Momoi's intuition was extremely sharp.
She thought frantically in her mind, seeming to understand something, but couldn't grasp the key point.
Instead, it was Aomine, this academic slouch, who had unimaginable keenness in basketball.
He suddenly spoke, his hoarse voice shocking people's hearts: "If a player can see through all the opponent's tactical deployments, while vision covers the entire court, can see changes in players' body data in real-time, and can predict the future trend to a certain extent, what will happen?"
"Of course, being able to discover the loopholes in the opponent's offense and defense..."
Speaking up to here, Kise, Momoi, and the others suddenly froze.
Loophole!
Yes, it's a loophole!
Yuuto could see Rakuzan's loopholes.
"But, the future predicted by Akashi's Emperor Eye is absolute. If it's just seizing Rakuzan's loopholes, he wouldn't have such an expression." Midorima frowned, believing more in the Emperor Eye's prediction.
That cannot be broken.
"But conversely speaking, it is precisely because an incredible result appeared that Akashi was so surprised."
Aomine's voice was faint, not loud, but extremely shocking.
"In other words, that seemingly ordinary pass wasn't as simple as it looked? It might have broken Little Akashi's Emperor Eye prediction, or even if he saw the future, Akashi had no way to change the result?"
Either possibility was too astonishing.
Irreversible result.
And breaking the future.
Kise murmured these words in his heart, his heartbeat accelerating involuntarily.
The match continued.
Akashi still couldn't be sure; what happened before his eyes was truly too incredible.
Since awakening the Emperor Eye, he had never encountered such a thing.
Insufficient intel; he still needed to confirm it personally.
Whoosh~
The basketball passed quickly from his hand again, passing through Giichi Omuro and Ryuhei Kasuga to Mayuzumi Chihiro.
The latter pushed with the momentum, pushing the ball towards the basket.
He wanted to do an alley-oop coordination with Nebuya Eikichi.
Result.
A big hand slapped over frontally, hitting the ball at the moment Nebuya received it.
This time.
Akashi saw it clearly; the moment their offense launched, three red dots ignited like will-o'-the-wisps.
"Those are our Rakuzan's Dead Spots!"
Crack!
The future seen by the Emperor Eye shattered again, like a hammer smashing a mirror; the picture was full of cracks.
Because the result was irreversible, no method could change it.
Seiho continued to counterattack.
Yuuto took the lead, rushing at the very front of the team.
This time.
He didn't even call for a screen because it was useless; Akashi was already prepared.
Of course, the current Yuuto didn't need teammates' screens either.
The world in his eyes darkened again; scarlet dots became the only thing in his line of sight.
So-called Dead Spots not only meant Rakuzan couldn't defend, but also represented the most favorable areas for Seiho's offense.
Retreat.
Pull the ball behind the back.
Avoid the Emperor Eye's insight to pass.
Then, hit the Dead Spot.
A set of movements flowing smoothly; the current Yuuto didn't need to obsess over high-quality passes, more importantly, sending the ball to that specific position.
No need for others' help; one person could pierce through Rakuzan's entire defensive line.
Crack~
The future seen in Akashi's eyes shattered again. He just lifted his legs but put them down immediately.
Result irreversible; this was the result seen by the Emperor Eye.
Rakuzan's entire defensive line was penetrated by the opponent.
That wasn't a simple pass, but combined the data, tactics, personal styles, and habits of all players on the court from Rakuzan, no, even Seiho and Rakuzan...
Finally completed this fatal blow to Rakuzan!
This wasn't just the result after correction, but also the power of those eyes.
"So amazing, Rakuzan's defense was completely penetrated!"
Unaware spectators could only see Yuuto prying open Rakuzan's entire defense time and again through passing.
His passes looked simply like art; every pass could hit the opponent's vital parts.
"How exactly is it done? That's Rakuzan!"
Yukio Kasamatsu, Izuki Shun, Imayoshi Shoichi, Kazunari Takao, and other powerhouse point guards coveted it immensely.
This was simply the highest pursuit of a point guard: using passing to disintegrate the opponent's defense.
"Probably seized a loophole Rakuzan couldn't defend." Riko Aida was stunned herself after saying this sentence.
A loophole even Rakuzan couldn't defend—did that really exist?
"All secrets are hidden in those eyes." Teppei Kiyoshi stared at Yuuto.
In a trance, they felt Yuuto's pupils seemed to be magnified, occupying their entire vision.
That red ring, mysterious and deep, like a black hole capable of sucking people in.
No need to confirm anymore.
Yuuto's eyes could see Rakuzan's weaknesses, and this weakness was irreversible; that was Rakuzan's Dead Spot.
If so.
Next, Rakuzan's team offense would become meaningless, even if they had Mayuzumi Chihiro, the Sixth Man.
Akashi stood on the court breathing lightly, already communicating with another self in his mind.
"I need your power."
"I know, but..."
The secondary personality Akashi had concerns. Because his appearance would definitely destroy Rakuzan's current chemistry.
"It doesn't matter. We are all for victory; they will understand."
"Since that's the case, let me crush him too."
Silently, Akashi completed the personality switch.
Since the team was useless, let everyone see what the strongest Akashi Seijuro looks like.
When Akashi opened his eyes again, all Rakuzan members instantly felt something unusual.
The person in front of them made them feel familiar yet strange.
"Akashi?"
"Sei-chan?"
Hearing this, Akashi's expression was very cold. He said only two words: "Inbound the ball."
